Daylight Simulation and Lighting Design
Effective Daylight & Lighting Design is essential for creating energy-efficient, comfortable, and visually appealing spaces. At Luths Services, we specialise in tailored solutions that maximise natural light while integrating efficient lighting systems.
Daylight Studies
Daylight by nature is dynamic (constantly changing) thus it makes sense to use a dynamic simulation model to predict the impact of openings and shading to enhance as much useful daylight but without compromising comfort from glare factors. Using detailed sunlight models and simulation of the building in an 3D environment it is possible to show adequate levels of daylight for all spaces and even if an individual window will get enough sunshine through the year.
Lighting Design
Lighting design goes hand in hand with daylight assessments. As well as using the latest low energy lighting, a major benefit can be done by using sensors and daylight sensing and dimming controls. The associated energy savings can be quantified. A good lighting design will take into account colour, brightness and glare which can be a factor on your occupant comfort.
"Employees have reported a 15% increase in productivity from better daylight conditions and daylighting can reduce electricity consumption by up to 75%"
